The Hopes & Fears Mod is a continuous Work In Progress. What this means is I’ll be adding more content to it over time, including more custom Wants and custom Fears.

This mod is an overhaul of the Wants & Fears system. For information on the individual fears, view the specific page HERE.

You Will Need:

  • Lot51’s Core Library ~ It doesn’t add anything to the game, it just allows the mod to work as intended. This is essential.
  • Custom Wants Mod ~ This is a loader mod for all my custom wants, so if you want my new custom-made wants, you’ll need to download this too.

What Does It Do?

➡️ The Hopes & Fears Mod overhauls whimsets for Traits, Aspirations, Careers, Skills and more by adding new Wants to these sets, specifically custom ones.
➡️ It adds whimsets for the Traits, Aspirations, Careers, Skills, Lifestyles and more from later packs that didn’t have them as well as Base Game ones, such as Child Aspirations.
➡️ It also adds whimsets for certain situations, such as Having a Bad Day at Work and Having a Cheating Partner. Now your Sims will put it appropriate Wants for these situations, including going on a Date.
➡️ It overhauls the whimsets for venues, so you’ll get some appropriate Reactionary Wants when visiting some venues (to be developed further).
➡️ It adds new Fears to be developed by your Sims after certain situations (development of a Fear is not a guarantee; in other words, not every Sim will develop a Fear). It also overhauls existing Fears.
➡️ Finally, it upgrades the Whims Maxis Left Behind into Wants and re-adds them to whimsets. It also contains whimsets for the Child, Toddler and Elder life stages.

The Technical Details
This mod is Base Game Compatible.
It is split into multiple folders based on pack, 🚨so you must delete the folders for packs you don’t have.🚨 I cannot stress this enough.
Similarly, the Fears are in their own folders and you can delete those if you do not wish to have the new Fears in your game.
The mod currently supports the following translations:
~ English (Me)
~ French (Kimikosoma)
~ Polish (Daisy1728, Download Here)
~ Portuguese (Maluk)
~ Spanish (Laura Martinez Barca, Download Here)
~ Russian (Origamika Group, Included)
~ Dutch (GothiqueAngel, Included)

Conflicts

❌This will conflict with bienchien’s Whim Overhaul mod, since they do edit the same whimsets in many places.

❌This will conflict with mods that edit the Fear of the Dark, Fear of Unfullfilled Dreams and Fear of Dead End Job in any way. Simply delete those files if you wish to use a different mod in conjunction with this one.

 ✔️It is compatible with any other mod adding Custom Fears.

Planned Updates
This is only Version 2 and I have a lot of updates planned including:
~ More new Wants for the later packs.
~ More Custom Fears
~ More reactionary whimsets for events and situations.
